Where do I begin?
I've been praying for the Lord to work in this boy's heart ever since he found out Christi was pregnant! It's a scary thing being a parent. Maybe the scariest thing.
You wonder if you're going to be everything they need...if you're enough. I distinctly remember singing to Kipton before I put him to sleep one night, when I had a "God moment." I believe God spoke to me as I was singing/praying over him. I believe God told me that, even though the world around me seemed to be unstable, that He would take care of Kipton.
In that moment, I didn't believe that we were going to be rich or even happy all the time. I just knew that He would show Kipton how good He is and that He would invite my son into an eternal friendship with the God that loves him so much!
So when Kipton started to ask us questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, Heaven, Hell, the bad things that happen in this world, we knew God was beginning to fulfill that promise! It has been such a joy and honor to be this boy's dad! God is good!
